Hello to September, changes, and Autumn Equinox from Spirit in Joy!!This months topic is DETOXING YOUR LIFE. This means your diet, environment, relationships (including your relationship with yourself!), even your thoughts.Toxic behaviors, emotions, influences.Some of the toxic habits in your life are small and easy to change, substitute, or be mindful of,like using natural products like vinegar (instead of Roundup) on weeds, or to clean your bathroom with. Adding more water and exercise will aid you, yes. Cleansing fasts and diet, adding antioxidants, fresh foods, and clean air will help as well. What behaviors have gotten out of hand, and become toxic mimicsof what you really crave? Avoiding toxic people, and creating protections from their projections, thoughts, and actions. I will of course mention being mindful of your own thoughts, and replacing negative, fear based, ego-driven ones with positive, loving, helpful thoughts. The key is awareness.We can’t change what we aren’t aware of. I used to remind myself to be more conscious of my thoughts by having my phones alarm clock set to various times, and when it would go off it would gently nudge me back into awareness; my new habit of positive, loving thoughts, healthy eating habits, checking my posture, pulling my stomach in, shutting off the TV, or using my psychic tools like pulling my energy back from people, the day, or the past, or the future! Usually, during my daily meditation, I reset my space, and kick out toxic energies, people, cords, whacks, etc out of my body, chakras, and aura, and everything lightens up, and I feel clean, at peace, and amused; my natural state of being. From that place change is easier, healthy change is smooth, even fun!

This all has to do with change. But before that change, comes awareness (up from the abyss of unconscious), and with it comes judgments, beliefs, fears, resistance, and unconsciousness. What a fun cycle! I’m talking about the big changes now, like letting go of toxic friends and relationships, really committing to that weight loss, or detox fast, or diet, or moving from a situation, like a house, neighborhood, job, that is just not working. When you see that clock on the wall spinning faster and faster in your one wild and precious life, and you know it’s time to make that change, all that will come rushing at you at once, and you may start to panic, andslide back into the safe and comfortable, eating the comfort foods, and thinking the toxic thoughts that say you can’t.There is usually a pain picture there, in your space, or an old, outdated set of beliefs that says you can’t. It could be a limit picture. Hitting that pain; sometimes even just remembering it, can keep you stuck in the toxic world. It’s easier to be overweight and unhappy, for example, than look at the (untrue) fear based pictures of being unworthy of love, or not good enough. It’s easier to stay in a toxic home, or relationship, than deal with the pain of knowing that it is over, and that you deserve better, and that yes, you can be selfish enough to get it, and have it.

The good news: It is just a hurdle, not the race. You can get past it. The goal here is detoxifying your life. You have done it before; you just don’t remember it right now. You can make great, amazing, health affirming changes in your life, right now, from exactly where you are,andit can be in a space of support,fun, and grace.This is a good time to get a reading on what holds you back from having your life healthy, abundant, and thriving. Be aware of the toxic, and the reason it has stayed there for so long. Pain picture? Unconscious? Take a look at what is workinghere, as well as the fears or limits that keep you from getting there. Get a healing, detox your life, and clean out those chakras, and that aura of yours! Reset your space to conscious, loving, self care! ~Helena
